December United Class Date

[Fly4life]

Just received the email of a job offer on CAL operation side for a December class date. Reflecting 11 years ago to be relatively new to United and know that a furlough would most likely be coming. 5 year furlough followed...never went to the regional job offer. Recalled in 2007 and furloughed again in 2009. Now job offer on Sept 11th.

The good news seems to be attrition due to retirements and hopefully a better contract. It's been a tough decade. Hope to see more positive movement in this industry.

Good luck to all the other furloughees out there.

Tough is an understatement. It's good that they are starting to recall.

Will the pilot window on the CAL side be opening up soon?

I'll be honest you are pretty annoying on this forum

kj6991 I am sorry you dont share a passion for wanting to stay up with the hiring in the industry. I guess you must be at your dream job. If you are good for you.

Huh? How do you know what passion I share and don't? I simply said you are annoying. Question after question after question. If you are so well up on the hiring you should know that the UNICAL pilot window opening up for street hiring right now is pure speculation and optimistic assumptions depending on how many L-UAL pilots accept fall classes on the CAL side, but nothing has been officially announced by anyone. Stop asking, start reading.

Doesn't UAL have over 1000 furloughees on the street right now, I know I work with one

Yes, but a lot of guys would rather wait until they can come back to work either under the current UAL contract or a new joint contract, but definitely not under the CAL contract. Our (CAL) work rules are pretty spartan, especially if you have to spend any time on reserve. On the plus side, we'll have 737 and 756 vacancies after this bid so pilots are going to have to come from somewhere.

kj6991 The last time I checked this is flightinfo thread, we keep everybody inform if you dont like questions then don't participate. This is a family here and we dont mind anwering questions for one another. If it's annoying to you I am sorry you feel the way. Yes, I am aware UNICAL pilot window opening up for street hiring right now is pure speculation and optimistic assumptions depending on how many L-UAL pilots accept fall classes on the CAL side. But sooner or later these speculation will become truths, this thread might be the one providing the up to date information. That's why I keep questions coming, to keep the thread a live.
